Question
is it okay to take levothyroxine at same time as lexapro...in the morning?

Answer
    It is OK, but is preferrable to take the levothyroxine all by itself 1 hour before eating or drinking anything else with plain water only.  If you can not remember to take your Lexapro 1 hour later it would be OK to take it with the levothyroxine, but levothyroxine is best taken alone.  

Thanks
